Immortal Palace of Eternal Life

Time was difficult to stop.

"The sect does not fail me, and I do not fail the sect."

He had not forgotten the oath he made when he became a true disciple, standing before the portraits of the ancestors.

Since revealing his potential, Liu Yu had indeed enjoyed many benefits from the sect, and later became a true disciple without any obstacles.

Overall, compared to ordinary cultivators or even regular disciples, he had always been considered a semi-privileged class, and the sect had not wronged him.

Although the favorable treatment was limited, merely providing a good communication platform and a stable cultivation environment, even this was something ordinary cultivators dreamed of.

The word “fairness” was a luxury that could not be demanded by the vast majority of cultivators in today’s fiercely competitive cultivation world.

It was precisely because he was a sect cultivator that Liu Yu could enjoy relatively fair treatment.

Although he was still far behind the likes of Li Buyu and Li Butong, it was more than enough for him.

Because of this, during the qi refining and foundation establishment phase, he could cultivate and develop quietly in the sect.

Through the sect's platform, he collected various spiritual herbs and elixirs, enabling his rapid growth.

He did not have to hustle year after year like loose cultivators for a single spiritual object or a single elixir, nor did he have to worry about attracting the suspicion and suppression of other cultivators.

After the demise of Heavenly Wind Ancestor, Liu Yu became the only yuan ying ancestor.

Although there were still many factions within the sect, and various open and hidden struggles, these were trivial matters for someone who had already reached the yuan ying realm.

In the face of absolute power, any schemes were merely jokes!

Possessing absolute power and having a group of trusted followers to control the Yuan Yang Sect was as easy as flipping his hand for Liu Yu.

He was born in the Yuan Yang Courtyard, grew up in the sect, and was the most legitimate sect disciple.

Currently, he was also the only yuan ying ancestor, and Heavenly Wind Ancestor willingly let go.

From any perspective, there was no room for criticism.

It was entirely justified!

Although having reached the yuan ying realm, establishing a power from scratch would not be too difficult.

However, up to now, the Yuan Yang Sect had a foundation that spanned nine thousand years, and any newly established power within a short time could hardly be compared.

The spiritual veins and blessed lands in the Tian Nan cultivation world were currently all owned, and it was not that simple to obtain them.

Taking direct control of the Yuan Yang Sect would immediately allow this enormous sect to be at his disposal, saving time and effort required to build a new power — the advantages and disadvantages were clear.

Whether it was gathering information or collecting spiritual herbs and objects, he could have his subordinates take care of it.

As a dignified yuan ying cultivator, he naturally could not handle everything himself.

So whether from the standpoint of “emotion” or the interests of strength, managing the sect well was the best choice for him at the moment — this was also Liu Yu's thought.

"After taking over the sect, the spiritual herbs and elixirs nurtured in the Immortal Abode will be easy to turn into assets."

"There will be no restrictions on spiritual stones for me."

Lost in thought, Liu Yu flashed this idea.

As the de facto controller of the Yuan Yang Sect, even if he did nothing, he would still have a large number of spiritual stones coming in every day.

To him, the sect treasury was like his backyard.

All kinds of spiritual materials and objects could be taken at will without any restrictions.

If he were a bit greedier, the spiritual stone mine controlled by the Yuan Yang Sect could yield a massive amount of spiritual stones, most of which could directly line his pockets.

Of course, doing so would inevitably lead to the disciples becoming disloyal, a shortsighted act that only considered immediate benefits, which Liu Yu naturally discarded.
